View the post for February 14 for an explanation of my Lenten Project As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. This single daffodil stands alone as a herald of spring. It is alone under the protection of the tree but nearby a whole host of daffodils raise their heads. There will still be cold snaps to come, for this is East Tennessee after all, and another month before most of the other wildflowers break through the ground. As I look at this daffodil I am reminded of the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, the day we call Palm Sunday. There was great joy in the crowd with people shouting his praises. I wonder what we would have seen if we could have seen Jesus’s eyes that day. He knew what was coming. He knew that these crowds would soon call out Crucify Him! So in one way he was alone in a great crowd of people but in another way he knew that he was doing the task the Father has given him. He knew that he would step out alone to bear the world’s sin. He also knew the true joy that was coming of a new heaven and new earth. He knew we would never have to be alone again.
Prayer Suffering Savior Thank you for standing alone, dying alone on the cross so that we can stand in your presence filled with joy at your unfailing love. Amen
